“Always” was the second single from All in the Name of Love, the seventh album from R&B group, Atlantic Starr. The song went to number one on both the Hot Black Singles and Billboard Hot 100 charts in June 1987.[1] The song also spent two weeks atop the U.S. adult contemporary chart.[2] In July, it also topped the Canadian RPM 100 national singles chart, where it remained for two weeks.[3][4]

In 2000, the pop act Boyz N Girlz United included a cover version of the song on their self titled debut album; in 2008, it was revived by Filipina diva-actressIya Villania as a duet with Jay-R under her album Finally!.[5]
